This morning the Ventalator was shut off, so Vickie is breathing on her own. She opened her eyes for a few minutes and seemed to be moving them sideways which is a big deal for us.
A new problem is a rash all over, not sure what's causing it or what to do about it.
When the drain tubes in her head are removed, at some time in the future she can be placed in a less intensive care area of the hospital where there are less visiting restrictions.
I think all the hoping and praying is starting to work.
